White Christmas ~ Tea Cup Style

I can scarcely believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve and then Christmas the day after. Just like Bing Crosby sings, I wish we could have a White Christmas... well, as long as the snow is on the grass and the roads are clear, I hope we have the whitest one ever!

I'm dreaming of a white ChristmasJust like the ones I used to knowWhere the tree tops glistenAnd children listenTo hear sleigh bells in the snow

This week I'm sharing a white tea cup and saucer set made by Duchess China. I believe I've shared this cup before, but couldn't help sharing again as it's my only white cup. It's also my only solid color tea cup.

Silver is one of my favorite colors and all of my white Christmas-y items are trimmed in silver, which I know clashes just the tiniest bit with my gold-trimmed tea cup.

In the meadow we can build a snowmanAnd pretend that he is Parson BrownHe'll say are you marriedWe'll say No ManBut you can do the jobWhen you're in town

I love collecting snowmen. This guy is so cute with his little bucket of snowballs for sale. I found him at Hallmark a few years ago... the day after Christmas, when he was half off... which is of course the best time to buy stuff!

The bottom of the cup and saucer both bear the Duchess name and stamp.

In addition to Snowmen, I have a Santa Claus collection. I finally stopped buying Santas about five years ago as there's not enough room to display all of the ones I currently have. So I only pull out a few each year. I can't remember where I bought this guy, but he's quite rotund and jolly.

You have a nice collection, Michelle. I collect SnowBabies and rocking horses. I like your white teacup. I don't have a fine china white one and I hinted to my hubby that if he saw one he could pick it up and put it under the tree. Thank you for joining me for tea today and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
